After Seven Years.

We recently published an account of a remark
able cure OF bedridden lady in Bennington by
DIR. E. W. Royce, who is now at the Bates House
| in this village Many have expressed doubt as
| to the truth of the report, and have taken meas
ures to authenticate or disprove it. To-day we
nave seen lady in this village who for seven
years has been helpless cripple suffering from
partial paralysis and rheumatism. During this
| time, this lady, Mrs. A. B. Case, who now resides
| with her daughter over G. H. g. H. W. Cheney's
store, has never lifted her foot from the fiooI
without artificial aid. Her whole left side has
during this time been effected by disease, and
during nearly three years of the time she was
never taken from the bed except as she was lift
ed in the sheets. During the long years of her
illness she was attended by physicians here and
IN Brandon, and one after another have given
her up as tncurable, One week ago last Wednes-
day Dr. Royce was called to see her. He took
the case for treatment, and Mrs. Case began talk
ing his medicine. Last Wednesday afternoon
she arose from her wheel chair and leaning with
her hand on the back of another chair, walked
across the room. The next day in the same
manner she walked from her room to the kitch,
en-, passing through an intervening room, and she
can raise up her foot and throw it forward very
freely. This improvement has all taken place in
less IMAM ten days treatment under DR.. Royce,
anu 'iA0 10 O'0iy udS gaining, DOtn as regards the
use OF her limbs, and her general health.
Mrs Case is a lady 81 years old, and her rapid
recovery is the more remarkable in view of this
fact There can be no doubt of the Doctors
understanding of medicine when his prescriptions
produce such wonderful results He has seen
the lady but twice personally, and did not give
any encouragement that she would be able to
walk OF move about under three months time :;
and Mrs. Case and her friends are the more
grateful to DIR. Royce for the very speedy relief
he brought his patient This is n case right here
in our own midst, and anyone doubling the state
ment made in regard to it are referred to the
lady herself or any member of her family for cor
roboratiye evidence. The Doctor when he took
the case was confident of his ability to effect
cure, and it is to his credit that he elaine less

The work among the negroes of the
South has occupied much attention in
the sessions of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly at Omaha, and it is Gu
rious to observe that at this distance
from their emancipation this church

term which is not applicable to the
generation with whom Christian labor
must now chiefly concern itself. The

SO parochial schools with 10000 pu-
pills. 1t is observed that "the colored
people, though emotional and demon
strative, have, nevertheless, an intel
ligent appreciation of the views and
methods of the Presbyterian church"
-Four colored ministers made remarka-
BILE eloquent and sensible addresses.
One of them, Mr.. billiard, of South
Carolina, declared that he liked the
word "negro," when it was spelled
with capital N, no ''i' and one "g."
The negroes were not to be 'got rid
Of" as he had heard proposed; they
would not emigrate, they were going
to stay and be valuable citizens, and
aid in lifting up this country TO its
most glorious results. They were not
lazy "of course they had rested a
little after emancipation, but they
were not resting now" They must
be taught, and they would repay teach
ing. All these ministers spoke in a
manly and determined fashion.

The Deaf Hear.
Rutland Cvt.) Review, Sept. 10, 1885,

Rutland (Vt.) Review, Sept. 10, 1885.
Of the hundreds or cases successfully treated
by Drs. Severance & Royce during their stay
here, our personal attention has been directed to
a number; but perhaps none of them is more
wonderful than that of the twelve-yearS old
daughter of Mrs. Ellen Davis of North Chester,
vt. From early infancy this child has been very
delicate and was long sufferer from catarrh of
a very distressing and obstinate nature, causing
at times enlargement of the tonsils to that degree
that it with difficulty she could swallow solid
food. The child has always been deaf-in later
years it being almost impossible to make her
hear anything, The child was put under treat
ment from Drs. Severance g. Royce not, how
ever, until physicians had expressed the opinion
that there was no help for her. From private
letter from Mrs Davis we quote as follows:
Last May my attention was attracted to the
advertisement of Drs. Severance & Royce and /
determined to make one more effort, having,
however little faith that she would receive any
benefit. The result is truly astonishing. She is
now healthy child, can bear exposure to all
kinds of weather, and is entirely cured of all
deafness. Everyone who sees her remarks on
her improved appearance, and regards it as
simply wonderful that such change should take
place in so short a time. 1 would advise all who
are similarly afflicted to consult these physicians
without delay,n
This case is more remarkable in that the child
was deaf almost from birth, and it was more a
constitutional difficulty than local Drs Sever
ance & Royce have had remarkable success in
the treatment of deafness, and they have in all
chronic objections; and so long as they are here
all sufferers should take advantage of the visit
and consult them.

ton then, what physician shall we employ?
Physicians cannot be equally skilled in the treat

inclination, has neither the time nor the facilities
to give the study to the treatment of chronic
complaints, which is absolutely necessary to
understand their complications and their cure
He has not seen a case like yours he feels he

VERMONT FARMS AS AN INVESTMENT.
"A brother of S. w. Dorsey said in
New York the other day " You can
buy improved farm land in the great
Champlain valley for less per acre than
men are paying for unimproved farms
in Missouri and Kansas, whittier the
great tide of emigration is flowing, l
know of property of 400 acres of i'm
proved land on which there was mod
ern house built within few years at
cost of $4,000, which was sold recently
at public auction for $1,000. 1t is one
of the finest and most productive farms
in the Champlain valley. A similar
property in Kansas would have been
considered worth three times as much.
The fact is, that the attention of the
country has been entirely drawn 10
western investments, and as a conse-
quence eastern property is at a low ebb.
Nevertheless, as investments, farms in
New England are still worth buying.

4 Case Of Spinal Disease Cured

Mrs. Celia GOsselin, who resides on Centre
Street, was for two years afflicted with spinal
disease, and was unable to do anything much of
he time, and was unable to leave her bed Dur
ing the two years of her illness she constantly
employed physicians, but one and all pronounced
her case incurable. She was reduced in flesh
almost to skeleton, and was hopeless and dis
couraged. 1t was in this condition that she call
ed on DR.. Royce to consult with him, and after
being treated by him two months she is able to
do her own work and is robust and healthy. She
called on us and stated the above facts, which
we corroborated by inquiry into the case, and
wished us to publicly acknowledge her gratitude
to this physician for the relief he has brought
her, and to add to those already published her
recommend of DR.. ROyce's methods and treatment
to other afflicted ones. DR.. Royce informs us
that the case of Mrs. GoSselin was a very prom
Using one and when he first began did not promise
her cure, but thought he could relieve her in
considerable degree, The success which attend
ed her treatment is therefore no less gratifying
to him than to the patient.-RutIdnd Reriear.

SENATOR EDMUNDS' IIBRARY.-The
room is the largest in the house, but it
doesn't look it, for it is crowded with
books, tables, papers and desks: The
volumes number about 1000, including
the senator's law library. The books
embrace standard works, a good deal of
politics, some religion, and any amount
of law. He has the works of Webster,
CLAY, Jefferson and Madison occupying
honored places. The senator is thor
oughly up in English literature, and is
a great reader. Strange to say, his rec
reation is in English literature; and
there is not in Thackeray, Dickens or
Scott character he is not familiar with.
He reads the works of these authors
over and over again. From the window
of Mr.. Edmund's study the view is
superb. Standing at the window he
pointed out some of its beauties. Over
across to the left is Washington, its
spires and domes and pinnacles glitter
ing in the sunlight. To the right is

4 Certain Cure for all Forms Of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease are physical conditions
upon which depend pleasure or pain, content
ment or unhappiness, success or failure. Health
is essential to the accomplishment of every pur-
pose, while sickness thwartS the best intentions
and loftiest aims; hence people cannot afford to
be sick. The human being is the browning work
of the Creator; and when this complicated struc-
ture, so exquisitely wrought, is disturbed by dis
ease, the most sufficient aid should be sought
from the most skilled physician, for the human
body is too precious to be neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in all forms
OF disease, and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine can possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to cure chronic or
lingering diseases. Dr. E. w. Royce of Boston,
now at the Morrisville House, Morrisville, VT,
has met public need and is great benefactOr
to the sick.
His means are so ample and his resources so
abundant, that he is enabled, in almost all cases

plete cure by means of HARMLESS VEGE-
